Baby-Led Weaning with Samantha Radford from Evidence-Based Mommy – Episode 111

How do you add other foods to baby while still breastfeeding for baby as well. Let's talk about how to do that safely with Samantha Radford. Today's guest is Samantha Radford. She has a PhD in Chemistry from Emory University (Atlanta, GA). She is an exposure scientist who focuses on maternal-child health. Samantha has years of research into learning about how chemical exposures affect both unborn babies and children, as well as how toxicants and medications are passed through breastmilk. Samantha also studies the effect of exposure to hormones induced by personal experiences, for example, cortisol in babies who are stressed or oxytocin in mothers bonding to their infants. Through the years, Samantha has expanded her academic and personal studies to how exposures to different parenting styles affect the mental and physical health of children as they grow to adulthood. Most importantly, Samantha is a busy mother of four kids 7 and under. She loves to empower other moms through combining science and wellness. Samantha has been trying to bring back the banana clip since 1998, and is the mommy behind Evidence-Based Mommy. She has a whole course on safe chemical usage for families. I love that she has the science to tell us what's safest for our families. Big thanks to our sponsor Family Routines -- if you're looking for household life to feel easier, it's the course for you!
